The New First Step

Sooooooooo yeah...
Weigh-in today has me at: 17st 6.5.

That's a loss of three pounds, with which I'm happy. It's interesting that previously when I've had a week of really hitting the exercise, my body's gone into shock and dropped me by a big chunk, but this is good enough for me. Crucially of course, it puts me over my first new milestone - 17st 7 (or actually, as it should have been, 17 st 7.5), and allows me to think and say that once more, I've lost three stone since we started all this.

So now on we go to the next milestone, which I'm not expecting to hit for at least three weeks. If I can go into May having cracked the 17 stone (3.5 stone lost) barrier, and count myself in among the 16s, I'll be more than happy. On that basis, I'll go into June in the lower half of the 16s, and July will see me in the 15s again. By September, we'll be counting in 14s again. and so on. November, will bring the 13s into view, and be Christmas, we may be dabbling with the number 12.

Of course, this is in an ideal world, a consistent world of weightloss, where every single week sees me lose two pounds, and we all know that's not actually the world in which we live. There will be plateaus, there will be setbacks, there will be complete pains in the arse.

But we've taken the first step. Now...forward to 17 stone...
